up, and comfortable quantity OF mud
thrown on his old stage coach, he in
vited the House of Lords, the men,
bers Of Parliament and the cabinet to
special performance. For one after
noon, at least, all thoughts OF the
Irish question dropped out of the
British legislative head, and those
grave selgneurs and pompous old
lords sat on the benches and yelled
like so many school boys when Bill
and his cowboys repulsed the Irdian
attack on the stage coach and res
cued its occupants. Then they
laughed themselves hoarse at the
antics of the bucking bronchos. and
were so tickled with the who show
that they toted Buffalo Bill off to
Queen Victoria and presented him TO
her majesty in his buckskin breeches,
big white hat, long hair and all his
picturesque gorgeousness. The dear
old lady was very much taken with
the chevalier from the wild west, and
declared that she Lad not seen so
handsome man in many day, Bill
gave her couple of complimentary
tickets to the show, and another
bunch "for the boys" as lac remark
ed in his artless western way, and
bowling himself out OF the royal draw
room, went off and had printed in
letters three feet high the words:
''The Wild West, under the manage
ment of Buffalo Bill, Snowman by ap.
poin,ment to Her Most Gracious
Queen Victoria, Empress Of India,
etc, etc." Bill is now giving two
performances daily, and taking in
somewhere in the neighborhood OF o
million dollars month.
